Hi!

How many careers allow you to commute to work and show up tired? Oh right, none. So yes, move to domicile.

I met a guy who's airline changed his domicile (he did NOT bid to change it-it was forced upon him each time!) 9 times in one year.

So if you worked for airline 'A' (not a real airline) and as a junior puke, you could only hold NY, so you move to NY and live in poverty for a while. Then two years later you can get out of NY, and you bid and hold Dallas, where the cost of living is less. A couple of years later, you can hold widebody FO, but only in SFO, so you move to have a better QOL on a better payscale. Now you can hold CA, but only in NY, so you move to NY and have a high cost of living but on a better salary. Now the airline furloughs, you lose your CA seat and go back to widebody FO, take a huge paycut, and have a tough time living in NY. So you move back to SFO. Now the airline announces an SFO base closure, so now you need to move to another base....Get it???

What is your wife and kids doing during all this change???

Oh, I know, according to you, pilots should be single nomads!!!

You are probably a regional dude who doesn't understand this scenario. You have two choices, FO or CA, because the few a/c you have at your company don't pay enough difference to move from a/c to a/c. It's folks like you that can't see the big picture, and make it hard for the profession to advance!!!

Wait until you have a house you can't sell, a wife with a better job than you, and kids in school. Then you get displaced to a different domicile. I guess a true professional like yourself will just give the house back to the bank, leave the wife and kids, and move to the new domicile.
